Y. PROPHECY While I sat here in my apartment in Glendale, California last night waiting for my lhusbang to return from work those words that Mrs. Gladstone uttered in a tone o sympat y an friendliness to Queen Victoria came back to me, and I really for the first time shared the same feeling: Your Majesty will find a great comfort in memories, presently, and the QI-lCCn's response, So, in memory, we are together still. Thus it is with my feelings regarding my classmates of 1950-ten short years, yet long, when one realizes the many changes that have taken place. As I turn the pages of that VCU- book I'll tell you of the fortune of those people as I've heard from them and about them through the years. Marilyn Wentworth and I have always been good friends and have kept up a correspon- dence all of these years. In her latest letter she told me that she has finally announced her engagement to the celebrated jimmy Stewart fStewart that isj. Marilyn has been doing considerable modeling in New York and Paris. I also heard recently that Catherine Piyakhas returned to Canaseraga from New York City with her husband, Professor Kerpotkins, where they celebrated their tenth Wtddlng anniversary. In a recent issue of the Canaseraga Herald, I noticed that Ted Savey, President of the Burns Trapping Association, has appointed Harvey Boyd to his executive cabinet. Mr. Boyd has just published his latest novel, The Moon Traveler. Another item in the personal column that interested me was about an old neighbor of mine-Mildred H38-ad0m, better known nowadays as Mrs. Clark. She and her husband have just invested in a share of Foster Wheeler. Millie says she wants future security for her little bars. It seems strange that way out here I should hear Bob Gould's name over the radio, but I did. It seems that Bob, a member of the board of directors of the U. S. Steel Corporation, and his wife, the former Miss Bacon, had their first visit from the stork. They are now proud parents of QUINTUPLETS. The latest report from the F. B. I. states that Trulaine Shay, famous woman agent, captured the New Jesse James Gang after ten years of diligent work. It is believed that Cupid has shot his arrow and that Trudy and Jesse will be married Immediately UPOII his release. Another source of my information is the Music World. In a recent issue there is an article on Lizzie Jackman. Elizabeth is a metro-soprano and made her debut in Vienna last week. She has been touring Europe with her husband and ten little ones. Something to which many people are giving alarm nowadays is the H bomb. Dick Kelsey and Maurice Seager, head chemists on the research of this bomb, have just returned home from South America to give the Canaseragans a big bang. I can't possibly believe that I went to school with such famous and important people. Rosalyn LaMonte's letter came this morning. It was such a pleasant surprise to hear from her after all these years. Rosie is now a famous hair stylist who recently flew to Arabia to work on Mrs. Ali Khan's hair. There was a P. S. to the letter that read something like this: While in Arabia I made a trip to the altar with Prince Gregorius of Canaseraga. Rosie told me her sister Helen is still an old maid librarian but has many beaus and cats to take up her time. Everett Swain, professor of history at Cornell University, handed in his resignation last month to take a position at Oxford University in England, He is planning to leave at the end of this month with his secretary, Leonard Neetz. Mr. Neetz has been doing extensive work in the field of agriculture in his spare time. Harry Dieter and his wife, the former Audrey Saxton, were honored guests at a dinner held at the Grange Hall last evening. The occasion commemorated his third term as mayor of Doty's Corners. Joan Stephens, wife of John D. Rockefeller III, has just invested a billion dollars toward the rebuilding of the Birdsall Hotel. This should certainly put Birdsall on the map again. The June issue of the Reader's Digest came in the mail this morning. Of all the people who should be mentioned in it-Dorine Klossner! It seems Dorine has been working very hard in her profession of dentistry and has become an authority on Care of the Gums. Here I find a Condensation of one of her theories. Virginia Yencer and Marylu Mess are still partners in crime. I'm sure you all have heard of the Messy Makeup Company. A woman is no one these days if she doesn't use Ginnie's and Marylu's concoctions. This ends my day-dreaming. I feel much better now-not half so lonesome as before. We have all come far and I can readily see that we all intend to go farther-true to our tradition and motto of 1950: Q NOT FINISHFD-JUST BEGUN 14
